Feels like I have knobby tires!

When I take off from a stop it feels like I have knobby tires. But I don’t. It only lasts a few seconds until the speed increases. Any ideas? Thx in advance.

It’s a 2007 expedition

Different model year - but when I accelerated gently and smoothly with my 2015 Expedition Limited, I would get a rumble as if I was driving on the rumble strip on the edge of the road. It was intermittent and would go away as I went faster (or let off the gas pedal).

Soon, the transmission failed and the dealer said one of the items was a failed torque converter.

Any noise with the feeling? Is the rear-differential fluid good?

Oh man I hope that’s not it! No noise really. Thx for the reply.

You say you "feel" it. Do you feel it under your ass or in your hands while on the steering wheel.
